Food Scene
I'm capturing a few close-by options for dining (mostly lunch and dinner) that I enjoy.
A nice range of chowder options and pretty good burgers too. Great outdoor seating when the weather is nice.

Your basic pho place that's often quicker than a drive-up fast-food window. Not fancy in any way, but perfect for a steamy bowl of goodness. Plus, they give you little cream puffs for dessert. Yum.

Starbucks

Small place, with food made from the heart. Some Greek staples. I find their hummus a little too garlicky, but that’s totally subjective.

Evenings, they have a woman making fresh corn tortillas that you can get hot off the grill. Their refried beans are fab-u-lous. Churros with chocolate sauce are super-yummy. Not the best Mexican food *ever* but yummy 'basic' Mexican food and super-convenient. Bar too.

THIS IS GREENLAKE BAR & GRILL (formerly Lunchbox Lab, but Airbnb is naming it and I can’t edit it).
A solid, consistently good source for a range of foods - salads to burgers and more - as well as cocktails, beer and wine. Has outdoor tables as well as large interior space.

Sightseeing
A must-see for visitors, in my opinion. Dale Chihuly's works on display indoors and out, plus a little restaurant (tourist-priced) and some videos highlighting his life and artistic endeavors.

Whale watching is an *incredible* experience. If you have a day (& a car), I highly recommend the dedicated folks at Island Adventures. Check the website for coupons and details: orcawhales.com.

Parks & Nature
2.8-mile paved path around the lake; 3.0 miles if you take the gravel path section. Inside half of the paved path is for "feet"; outside half is for "wheels." Great park! And with a kids' playground, too.

A great, winding park area with lots of little (mostly paved) trails and loads of interesting plants (Spring smells are outstanding but it's lovely and fresh all year long).

Safeway
516 1st Ave WYour basic grocery store.
A bit on the small-ish side, but a great place to walk for grocery staples (that will also likely be organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. to meet a range of needs). They have a deli, small hot bar, a pizza 'bar' (?) and a decent salad bar; Whole Foods' bars are better, but this is much closer. Staff is friendly.
